Cruises from Kangerlussuaq

Kangerlussuaq is a small city located in the western part of Greenland renowned for its rich history, culture and not to be missed attractions. The name of the city means "big fjord" in the local language and it is related to its geographical location within one of the country's largest fjords. Starting from its founding in 1941 by German people, the city is marked by a strong foreign presence.

Following a period of German rule, Kangerlussuaq became part of the American territory, becoming an important military base. In 1992 the Americans decided to leave the city. After a brief period in which the Danish regained control of the area, with the outbreak of the Cold War, American people occupied the territory again. Inevitably with the waning of tensions between the two major world powers, the military base lost its importance, and the dissolution of the USSR led the Americans to abandon the territory. For history lovers, a visit to the former military base is the best choice. Here it is possible to see the signs of American presence and immerse youself in the history of the city.
